We spent 4 fantastic days on the shores of Lake Como at B&B Casa della Musica. An unforgettable birthday. Everything was great! The most important thing is the hotel owner Massimo, a wonderful person, cheerful, very attentive to the needs of guests, caring, definitely the best hotelier who loves his guests and his job. His assistant Fabio also impressed us. Massimo is a musician and everything in the hotel speaks of his love for classical music. The hotel is just to my taste, in a small cozy village of Olcio, not far from Varenna with a breathtaking view from the balcony of Lake Como and an equally memorable view of the mountains from the window right from the bed. The balcony is huge, corner with loungers for relaxation and balcony furniture. In our Verdi room, cleaning was done every day. The room has everything you need: a refrigerator, kettle, cups, tea, sugar, glasses, hotel toiletries, hairdryer, and first aid kit. Very comfortable bed, extra pillows, snow-white towels and towels for the lake. Massimo can order pizza for you with delivery to the terrace or a table in the trattoria and restaurant. In the room, there is a large book with options for relaxing on the lake, hiking routes, train and boat excursions. Massimo himself during check-in informed us in detail about everything. The breakfast is excellent, tasty, plentiful, with various types of meat, cheeses, omelets, vegetables and fruits, yogurts, juices. How nice to enjoy hot croissants and cappuccino on the terrace overlooking the lake to the sounds of classical music! We ate everything and until dinner we were full and full of energy. About the location of Olcio: very convenient. 5 minutes walk from the train station, the same to the lake. Trains did not disturb at all, almost silent, the car road at the beginning was a bit annoying, especially the motorcycles and scooters, which are very common in Italy, but soon I stopped noticing them. It is very convenient to reach the main tourist locations. To Varenna by train 15 minutes, from there ferries and boats in all directions, to Lecco 30 minutes by train, to Bergamo 40 minutes, to Milan 1 hour. There is no supermarket in Olcio, but at 2.5 km in the town of Mandello del Lario there is everything and a beautiful park and a supermarket. And finally, about swimming in the lake. The water in June is warm, clean, and transparent, there were almost no people on the beach. The shore is rocky, you need rubber shoes to enter the water. Thanks again to Massimo for the excellent time, comfort, and hospitality. Goodbye and I really hope for a new meeting!

The answer from the host:
Шановна Ірина,
Я зворушений цим фантастичним, чудовим оглядом: можу сказати, що це один із найкращих відгуків, які я отримав за 9 років роботи. ДЯКУЮ ТОБІ. Ви зрозуміли МОЮ ЛЮБОВ ДО МОЄЇ РОБОТИ, МОЮ ВЕЛИКУ ЗАХОЖЕННЯ ДО МУЗИКИ. Я ніколи не забуду твою посмішку і посмішку твого чоловіка. Я сподіваюся, що ви зможете мирно пережити цей важкий момент в Україні, сподіваюся, що війна, яка торкнеться вашої країни, скоро закінчиться. Велике спасибі від мене, а також від Фабіо, який допомагає мені на вихідних, коли я ходжу грати на органі в церкві. Я обіймаю тебе з любов'ю.
